Ok, who takes his two way spot now?

Chris Duarte or maybe someone in house like Yuri or Javan Johnson.

Seriously, who was available? This has to be one of the worst post-March 1st FA markets I have seen in quite some time.

Key is interesting in that he’s been a really solid at everything except shooting for a while now. Reminds me of a Stanley Johnson or JTA where the moments they make 3’s they look like legit NBA players…. but the consistency shooting has never been there.

He’s not much different from Gui or Spencer where you know you are getting hustle, defensive effort, IQ, smart passing…. but gotta make knockdown shots. Gui has done that. Spencer has struggled to shoot it. Problem with Key is he’s always had a hitch in his shot so it doesn’t seem like a fixable thing.

I don't care what anyone says. I think it's great that he can play a little ball in addition to being able to sing. He can't dance worth a damn though. :D
